Early Age Concrete Strength Assessment

This guide provides recommendations for determining the strength of concrete on site at early ages (less than three days). This guide is part of the series of case studies on applying best practice to in-situ concrete frame buildings, based on the St George Wharf project. Get price

Concrete Reinforcement through the Years

Sep 16, 2014Reinforced concrete is a composite material in which concrete's relatively low tensile strength and ductility are counteracted by the inclusion of reinforcement having higher tensile strength and ductility. In the U.S., the most common methods of doing this are conventional (passive) reinforcing steel, prestressing, and post-tensioning. Get price

Strength of Hardened Concrete

In well cured concrete, the development of strength will take place within 28 days. Thus the allowance of age factor generally is not necessary. Thus IS 456-2000 has revised this clause The revised clause states that normally the gain in strength beyond 28 day's depends upon grade, type of cement, curing and environmental conditions.

Calculating Anchor Bolt Pullout Strength

link in the bond of epoxy to concrete is the concrete itself. The force required to pull concrete apart is called its Shear Strength. A conservative value for concrete shear strength is 800 psi. To determine the force required to pullout the bolt separating it at the epoxy to concrete bond, use the following calculation: Force = D x x L x 800 Get price

ACI 318

ACI 318-11: Development length for reinforcement. The design is based on the reinforcement attaining the yield stress, so the reinforcement must be properly bonded to the concrete for a finite length in order not to slip. This sufficient length to anchor bars near the end of connections is referred to as the development length, l d. The Get price

Compressive strength of concrete after early loading

May 25, 2015Applying large construction loads to a structure can lead to a reduction in strength if the serviceability limit has been exceeded. However, the effects of smaller compressive loading on concrete cubes, below the serviceability limit state, have been found to have a positive impact on the 28 day ultimate strength. Get price

Chapter 5 Concrete Structures

2. Curing of the concrete (especially in the first 24 hours) has a very important influence on the strength development of concrete at all ages. Temperature affects the rate at which the chemical reaction between cement and water takes place. Loss of moisture can seriously impair the concrete strength. Get price

Cement hydration

Hydration products. The products of the reaction between cement and water are termed hydration products. In concrete (or mortar or other cementitious materials) there are typically four main types: Calcium silicate hydrate: this is the main reaction product and is the main source of concrete strength. It is often abbreviated, using cement chemists' notation, to C-S-H, the dashes indicating Get price

Water to Cement Ratio

Aug 28, 2012Air voids in concrete depends on the water to cement ratio. There is an increase in air voids with the increase in weight of water. When this situation happens, then strength of concrete drops down. Hardened concrete contains about 1% of air voids. In a hardened state concrete, strength is inversely proportional to the water/cement ratio. Get price
